- Opening at the 7-level
- Junior Europeans in Poland 2013. East picks up AKQT9 AKQ A AKQ5 as dealer. Many took their first (?) chance at opening 7NT and did hit Jxx of spades and three low clubs in dummy. With clubs breaking, 13 tricks were easy. Several pairs reached the slightly better 7♠. http ...
- Canapé jump overcalls... really?
- I don't have the same experience with them as Ulf does (for natural reasons) but have played them for about five years with good results. I like to only use them when they show specific suits, just like I prefer our Michael's to show specific 5-5:s, so ...
- So Cool ... And Kind of Mean
- This is one of the best things I've read here (which obviously says a lot).
- Great lead, partner!
- Hi Adam! We would have to ask the pair in question. Maybe they dislike leading from 109x? It also sure looks easier to beat this if partner has a stiff diamond than anything else.
- Great lead, partner!
- The Cavendish is played as IMP Pairs.
- Great lead, partner!
- See Nick above. About doubleton leads, we have to agree on disagreeing :)
- Transfer responses to 1!C - rebidding with 3-card support unbalanced
- You don't, just like you don't after partner has opened 1NT.
- ATB or should I say... advice preferred? :)
- We play Gazzilli but I don't think the West hand is worth the upgrade to 3♦ with such weak diamonds. It's still a great convention that helps with other problems, however.
- Have you ever seen this auction before?
- My opponent's at the White House Junior Internationals did bid 2♣ - 3♣ 4♣ - 5♣ 6♣ - Pass a couple of years ago.
- "I'm Getting Too Old For This... Stuff"
- Should have been 4♠, thanks!
